Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention relates to a resin seal type semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a semiconductor device which supplies electric signals or electric potential from one lead to several pads located away from each other.
  • As shown in Figs. 8 and 9, a resin seal type semiconductor device such as DIP (Dual Inline Package) is known.
  • A rectangular die support 3 is held at the central portion of a pair of parallel frame bodies 2 through hanging pins 4. A plurality of leads 5 which are terminals supplying electric signals are held by the frame bodies 2 through tie bars 6. The leads 5 are positioned along the periphery of the die support 3. A plating portion 7 is formed at the inner end of each lead 5 by gold-plating or silver-plating. A lead frame 1 is composed in this way. As shown in Fig. 9, a semiconductor chip 8 having a plurality of electrode pads 9 along the periphery thereof, is mounted on the central portion of the die support 3.
  • In this condition, each electrode pad 9 provided along the periphery of the semiconductor chip 8 and the corresponding plating portion 7 formed at the inner end of each lead 5 are connected by a bonding wire. Next, the whole arrangement except for the outer portions of the leads 5 are resin sealed by mold resin 11. Then, the leads 5 and the hanging pins 4 are cut off from the frame bodies 2, and after that, the tie bars 6 are removed and the leads 5 are bent, so that the semiconductor device is composed.
  • In Fig. 11, the mount paste 12 which glues the semiconductor chip 8 to the die support 3, is conductive on non-conductive adhesive.
  • Recently, many semiconductor chips having minute wires have been made because of the reduction of the size of the semiconductor chip, so that the wire resistance becomes high and the problem of noise occurs. In particular, it is required to reduce the size of the power supply wires of the semiconductor chip because the power supply wires occupy the greatest part of the area of the semiconductor chip. In this case, the problem of noise is more liable to happen.
  • When the problem of noise occurs, it is difficult to speed up the operation of the semiconductor device.
  • In order to solve the situation, it has been proposed that several pads receiving power source (power supply pads) are provided on the semiconductor chip, each power supply pad and lead supplying power source (power supply lead) being electrically connected so that the length of the power supply wires from each power supply pad becomes short. In this way, the wire resistance of the power supply wires of the semiconductor chip may become low.
  • However, when there is one power supply lead and several power supply pads located far from each other on the semiconductor chip, such as when, for example when one power supply pad is located close to the power supply lead, and another power supply pad is located opposite the power supply lead, it is impossible to draw the power supply lead to the another power supply pad because of interference of the other leads, and it is therefore impossible to compose such a semiconductor device.
  • Incidentally, in addition to the relationship between one power supply lead and several power supply pads, the same situation may occur with respect to the relationship between one lead supplying signals and several electrode pads.
  • EP-A-0 295 459 discloses an electronic assembly having the features described in the preamble of the appended claim 1. JP-A-62 205 653 discloses a device having a lead frame and a die-support pad formed independently and coupled after a chip has been fixed to the pad. It is known from Proceedings of the Electronics Components Conference (1988), pages 552 to 557, that it is possible to provide more than one connection from a single lead of a lead frame to a connected semiconductor chip.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It is an object of the present invention to provide a resin seal type of semiconductor device in which it is possible to compose the semiconductor device when several pads which receive power source or signals from one lead are located far from each other.
  • The foregoing object is accomplished by a resin-sealed semiconductor device comprising: a lead frame having a chip support on the central portion of the lead frame and a plurality of leads arranged around the periphery of the chip support, each lead having a bonding site at its inner end adjacent to said chip support, a semiconductor chip mounted on the chip support and having a plurality of contact pads on its surface respective ones of said contact pads being wire bonded to respective ones of said bonding sites of said leads; and moulded resin sealing the lead frame, the semiconductor chip, and the wire lead, characterized in in that a further lead portion of said lead frame is connected to one of said leads and extends above and across said surface of said semiconductor chip to a bonding post adjacent to said chip support, said bonding post being connected by a wire bond to a further one of said contact pads of said chip.
  • According to the present invention, for example, power source is supplied from one of the leads supplying power source to one of the pads receiving power source by connecting the one lead and the one pad, and power source is supplied from the one lead to another pad located far from the one pad by connecting the one lead and the another pad through the wire lead. Accordingly, it is possible to supply power source or signals from one lead to several pads located far from each other.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • An embodiment of a resin seal type semiconductor device of the present invention will become understood from the following detailed description referring to the accompanying drawings, Figs. 1-7.
  • As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a rectangular die support 33 is held by a lead frame 21 through a pair of hang pins 34. A semiconductor chip 51 is mounted on the central portion of the die support 33 through mount paste 12. Each lead 43 of the lead frame 21 is connected to an electrode pad 52 of the semiconductor chip 51 through a bonding wire 10. A wire lead 46 of the lead frame 21 is positioned above the semiconductor chip 51. The semiconductor chip 51 is entirely resin sealed by mold resin 11.
  • The lead frame 21 consists of a bed frame 31 as shown in Fig. 3, and a wire frame 41 as shown in Fig. 4 which is laid on the desirable position of the lead frame 31.
  • That is, the bed frame 31 is provided with a pair of parallel bed frame bodies 32 and the rectangular die support 33 which is held at the central portion of the bed frame bodies 32 by them through the hang pins 34. The plane of the die support 33 is positioned below the plane of the bed frame bodies 32 by bending the hang pins 34 downward.
  • The parallel wire frame bodies of the wire frame 41 hold a plurality of leads 43 through tie bars 44. The leads 43 are positioned along the periphery of the die support 33 when the wire frame 41 is laid on the bed frame 31. One of the leads 43 adjacent to the one wire frame body 42 power supply lead 43a supplying Vss electric potential (ground electric potential). A wire lead 46 is connected to the power supply lead 43a and is extended in a direction perpendicular to the wire frame bodies 42, to the other wire frame body 42. A bonding post 45 is formed at the portion of the wire lead 46 adjacent to the other wire frame body 42. A plating portion 47 is formed at the inner end of each lead 43 by gold-plating or silver plating. The bonding post 45 is also plated.
  • As shown in Fig. 5, the semiconductor chip 51 is provided with a plurality of electrode pads 52 along the periphery thereof. Two of the electrode pads 52 are Vss power supply pads 52a, 52b which are located longitudinally opposite to each other.
  • In this case where the power supply pads 52a, 52b are far from each other, the power supply pads 52a, 52b may not be connected to a power supply lead of a conventional lead frame, but may be connected to the power supply lead 43a of the present invention.
  • In Fig. 5, the semiconductor chip 51 is mounted on the central portion of the die support 33 of the bed frame 31 through mount paste 12. In Fig. 6, the wire frame 41 is laid on the bed frame 31 in a manner where the wire frame body 42 is fitted to the predetermined portion of the bed frame body 32, after that the wire frame body 32 is fixed to the bed frame body 32, for example by a welding machine.
  • In this way, the lead frame 21 is composed of two frames, namely the bed frame 31 and the wire frame 41. Furthermore, the semiconductor chip 51 is mounted on the die support 33, and each lead 43 is positioned at the upper and outer side of each electrode pad 52 of the semiconductor chip 51. The wire lead 46 is crossed above the semiconductor chip 51.
  • In this case, the power supply lead 43a is positioned at the outer side of the power supply pad 52a, and the wire lead 46 connected to the power supply lead 43a is drawn above the semiconductor chip 51 to the opposite side of the power supply lead 43a without the interference of any other lead 43. The bonding post 45 provided at the wire lead 46 may reach reasonably close to the power supply pad 52b.
  • Accordingly, as shown in Fig. 7, Vss electric potential is supplied to the power supply pad 52a by connecting the power supply lead 43a and the power supply pad 52a through the bonding wire 10. As the wire lead 46 is connected to the power supply lead 43a, the electric potential of the wire lead 46 is Vss electric potential. Accordingly, Vss electric potential is also supplied to the power supply pad 52b by connecting the bonding post 45 of the wire lead 46 and the power supply pad 52b through the bonding wire 10.
  • Thus, Vss electric potential is supplied to the power supply pad 52a of the semiconductor chip 51 which is located close to the power supply lead 43a supplying Vss electric potential by connecting the power supply pad 52a and the power supply lead 43a. Furthermore, Vss electric potential is supplied from the power supply lead 43a to another power supply pad 52b located far from the power supply pad 52a by connecting the power supply pad 52b and the power supply lead 43a through the wire lead 46 which is arranged above the semiconductor chip 51 so as not to come into contact with the other lead 43. After that as shown in Fig. 7, the other electrode pads 52 are connected to the plating portions 47 of the leads 43.
  • Next, the whole arrangement except for the outer portions of the leads 43 and the power supply lead 43a are resin sealed by mold resin 11. Then, the leads 43, the power supply lead 43a, the hanging pins 34 and the wire lead 46 are cut off from the bed frame body 32 and the wire frame body 42. After that, the tie bars 44 are removed and the leads 43 and the power supply lead 43a are bent, so that the resin seal type semiconductor device of the present invention is composed.
  • Although it is described that Vss electric potential is supplied from one power supply lead 43a to two power supply pads 52a, 52b in the above-mentioned embodiment, in the case where there are several power supply pads close to either the power supply lead 43a or the bonding post 45, the several power supply pads may be independently connected to the power supply lead 43a or the bonding post 45 through bonding wires 10.
  • Although it is described that Vss electric potential is supplied to the power supply pads 52a, 52b through the wire lead 46, electric signals from one of the leads 43 may be supplied to several electrode pads 52 through the wire lead 46 which connects the lead 43 and the electrode pads 52.
  • Furthermore, not only one wire lead 46 but also more than two wire leads 46 may be used. In the case of more than two wire leads 46, it is necessary to arrange the wire leads 46 so that the wire leads 46 are out of contact with each other by providing height differences between the wire leads 46 or by spacing the wire leads 46.
  • Reference signs in the claims are intended for better understanding and shall not limit the scope.
